THE DOPPLER DETERMINATION OF ORBITS

Abstract

It is the purpose of this presentation to briefly summarize the results of some of the studies that have been performed at APL on the accuracy with which a satellite can be tracked with a radio doppler tracking system when the satellite is properly instrumented for such doppler tracking.
